The Digital Economy Conference
The Digital Economy Conference is a showcase of Australian capability. It reflects the work being done across the country and highlights the role Australia can play in the global digital economy.
The Digital Economy Conference is Australia’s premier event for showcasing the technologies shaping our future economy. Hosted by the Digital Economy Council of Australia, this national gathering highlights the platforms, protocols, and people working at the intersection of blockchain, digital assets, artificial intelligence, distributed systems, tokenisation, quantum readiness, and intelligent infrastructure.
The program spans three full days of sessions that focus on implementation, innovation, and national capability. This is not a single-technology event. It is an exploration of how foundational and emerging technologies are working together to support real change across industries.
Through keynote addresses, executive roundtables, sector deep dives, live demonstrations, and policy updates, the conference offers insight into what is already in motion and what is coming next. The agenda covers payments, trade systems, identity and access management, decentralised infrastructure, healthcare reform, telecommunications, gaming, data security, and more.
Participants include founders, technology leaders, legal and compliance experts, regulators, government representatives, investors, and enterprise teams. Whether you are building systems, delivering services, navigating compliance, or shaping strategy, the conference provides direct access to the people and projects leading Australia’s digital transition.
